How to Cherish and Fuel Your Friendships During Life's Changing Seasons
From Summer BBQs to Winter Hibernation: A Guide to Keeping Your Friendships Toasty Year-Round. Discover the Secret Ingredient of Lasting Bonds (Hint: It's Not Pumpkin Spice)!
Ah, the third trimester—a time when you're practically a wizard of life creation, juggling the magic of pending motherhood with, well, everything else. But as you waddle, sorry, gracefully glide towards the finish line, it might feel like your friendships are slipping away faster than your ability to see your toes. Fear not, for this is the era of thickening bonds, not just belly buttons!
“They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it also takes a pretty nifty squad to keep you sane during your third trimester!”
With your body morphing faster than a superhero, your social life doesn't have to go into hibernation. Instead, keep it sizzling like a summer BBQ! Here's a cheeky guide to nurturing those friendships while you're nurturing a future human—or three if you're feeling ambitious.
Barbecue the Boring Out of Baby Showers
Baby showers are like friendship ceremonies wrapped up in pastel onesies and soggy sandwiches. Why not switch it up? Host a “Baby-Q,” a fun, informal cookout where buddies bring a side dish and you supply the buns in the oven!
“Skip the dainty, go hearty! Because nothing says friendship like barbecue sauce stains and belly laughs.”
Need to keep comfy while you're flipping kababs or chasing runaway toddlers? Check out the matern
Caffeine Dates with a Twist
Ah, remember those coffee meet-ups where you discussed everything from cute baristas to cosmic mysteries? Well, it's time to add a maternal twist. Why not make it a Coffee-Nap-Shop-Binge Day? Rotate between a cozy café, a sneaky nap, and perhaps a shopping spree.
“Coffee hook-up or a masterclass in strategic resting? You decide!”
If those shopping habits now include more 'nap-friendly' purchases, Emamaco's got you and your postpartum belly covered with Mum Tum leggings.
Pillow Fort Movie Night
Let’s face it, late-night dance-offs are temporarily off the table, but who said movie nights can't be legendary? Build an epic pillow fort, grab some popcorn, and let the night roll on! Opt for pregnancy-friendly films—think less horror jumps, more rom-com laughs.
“Pillow fort Fridays: the adult answer to life’s relentless enthusiasm.”
Cook-In Parties
Potlucks are in vogue! Invite your gals over for a 'Cook-In.' Each friend brings a dish, while you happily sip on a concoction that's at least 70% juice. Your job? Command the operation from your throne of cushions and endless snacks!
“Because friends that cook together, definitely laugh louder together!”
Let them know that you’re in this together—growing baby and bonds alike. It’s all about celebrating each and every crumb, hiccup, and giggle!

Be the Queen of Shared Spontaneity
Becoming a mom can often feel like a never-ending merry-go-round. The secret to maintaining your friendships? Be flexible and spontaneous. Say yes to unpredictable lunch-break pinky swears and unexpected 'just-because' messages.
“The crown of friendship is always stylish, even through life's tidal waves of unpredictability.”
It’s the Little Things
Little acts of kindness never go out of style. Give those unfairly bad memes a twist by sharing one each day—it’s the cheapest mood lifter ever. Remind them you’re just a text away with funny GIF battles or by sending snack baskets with a looming cat on them.
“The mightiest spells lie in the smallest gestures—trust me, I’m about to squeeze a person out of me!”
In the grand carnival of life, your ride might be currently stuck on the loop-de-loop of pregnancy, but remember the importance of holding onto the giggles, hugs, and eyebrow raises with friends. As you prepare for a tiny new co-pilot soon, relish in the love and laughter of your crew along the way. They aren’t just friends; they’re your compass, your co-pilots, and, let’s be real, your delivery room cheerleaders—all rolled into one soggy tissue of love.
So, stay saucy, keep smiling, and whether you're rocking that bump or swagging that mum tum, always strut your stuff in style. Check out Emamaco's stunning range for chic comfort attire that hugs those curves like your favorite hug from a bestie.
